A review by marafat27
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

Definitely one of the most harrowing and traumatic books I've read. The brilliant writing style definitely helps in that regard. Do wish that the ending was a bit better though
